Challenge Day took place at Sanford High School and Middle School this week, reaching the entire 7th grade for a full day and an assembly at SHS. Challenge Day is typically a day-long interactive workshop where teens, teachers, and community members experience for themselves that compassion and connection are indeed possible in our schools. The goal of Challenge Day is to build community and to help stop teasing, violence, and alienation. Students and adults often leave Challenge Day inspired and empowered. This year's event was a huge success thanks to the efforts of approximately 56 volunteers, including staff members, school committee representatives, PTA members, community organizations, and local businesses. We are grateful to our sponsor, The Gerard and Gertrude Genest Charitable Trust, whose generous support made Challenge Day possible. Their commitment to empowering our students and fostering a positive school environment is commendable. Additionally, we extend our appreciation to our Diamond Sponsors, Kennebunk Savings, and MaineHealth, for their contribution to this event. Their support enabled us to provide snacks to the participants and ensured that the day was filled with positive energy.

The Building Trades Program at Sanford Regional Technical Center recently received a donation from Deering Lumber. Deering Lumber holds an annual golf tournament and has donated some of the proceeds to the program. Instructor Troy Hathaway says the funds can be used to do more individualized projects with students. He plans to have students build mock-up buildings to learn how to frame floors, walls, roofs, ceilings, and interior partitions. They will also learn how to install doors, windows, exterior and interior trim, drywall, and many other aspects of residential construction. Thank you, Deering Lumber for the generous donation!

Over 40 parents made time in their busy mornings to meet their child’s Title teachers, gain insights into the program’s objectives, understand how our teachers support student progress, and receive engaging family activities to aid their child’s literacy and math development at home. Our Title 1 program collaborates with classroom teachers to provide support to students through small-group sessions, ensuring their growth and success. The Meet and Greet was one of three parent-oriented occasions offered by the Title 1 teams throughout the school year. Parents will have the opportunity to participate in a lesson alongside their child and attend a family night filled with activities and games.
